Ichiro card #32 2008 Upper Deck Baseball Heroes Green Parallel #186

• Take a guess at how many MLB hits are on this card.  If you guessed 8253, you would be correct.
• Serial #'d 146/499.  Right up my alley picking up a serial numbered card for cheap.  I still have a few more to show in the coming weeks.
• This is the first card in 839 posts on this blog that has featured a card from 2008.
• Too bad that Manny's PED suspensions will likely deter HOF voters.  It would be great to say someday that there are 3 HOF'ers on this card.
• Game #32:  After a travel day, the Mariners hit the east coast against the Red Sox and get hammered 12-4.  Ichiro extends his hitting streak to 14 games with a 2 for 5 performance.  During the 14 games, Ichiro hasn't drawn a base on balls, and struck out just 5 times in 69 ABs.
